Antipsychiatry activist Don Weitz was once diagnosed "schizophrenic" despite the fact he never exhibited any so-called symptoms. Schizophrenia and other diagnostic labels in psychiatry's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) are deconstructed as personal crises and critiqued as unscientific, fraudulent and stigmatizing. Psychiatric labeling is a key element of social control and psychiatric oppression.
